U.S. judge opens probe into false statements in New York 'Trusted Traveler' suit

Cuomo suggested the acting head of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, and the acting deputy, Ken Cuccinelli, "violated their oath of office" and said they could face "possible criminal liability."

New York is asking the U.S. government to pay its court costs and attorneys' fees in the case. Furman directed New York and the U.S. government to hold talks in an effort to settle those claims.

Last week, Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer of New York asked DHS's inspector general to investigate. Cuomo said the Trump administration was using DHS "as a political tool. It doesn't work that way. And it's not just not right, and unethical and immoral. It's illegal."
